Nice looking model but, no doubt someone will pick the bones out of it.












If it move's its a target, if it stays still its a well disciplined target.

It's no Dragon Armor Elefant but we all knew that, It looks Okay to me.

Is the mag any different inside being the start of the panzer series?

Thanks for posting these pictures for us.

Hi Centurion,

OK, I'll volunteer. Its been improved though. Applause

Theyre not that bad? - and they are improving... Wonder what it says about the 'bullwheels' though...Whistle


Quick lowdown:

I like the paint on the towropes in the pic - are they gunmetal? They could be black and it being the photos though... - but still better than chrome?

The paintjob to me looks much better.

The wheels look slightly different, but is it just me or can I still see bare plastic shining through?... (an undercoat in body colour would be nice)

The detail on the reverse of the tracks is supeib - equalling Dragon?

OK though, other problems are still there, some that I wouldnt expect to have been sorted:

The aerial is unpainted, the spare tracklinks are the wrong way round, the glacis applique is all wrong - thats pretty much it!

Overall though, I think its better than was.

I think this will come through in the next delivery for me, we'll see then. Anyway, this is the worst (or one of) in the PzC, and its still acceptable, I spose...

some say he uses a toilet brush to comb his hair,

others say he's keeps giant spider crabs as pets and his favourite pastime is counting lumps on their legs!

John - you beat me to it. I was going to post pictures this morning.

Matt - the magazine is all about Panzers. It does not follow the same sections as previous ones. I am assuming it is the mag from this model in the Panzer collection with a CTC cover on it.
Nice to see that it is on the same size and type of base as the CTC - at least if this continues the whole collection will look the same.
I am in agreement with Cov1 - I dont think much of the blue visors but the rest of it is OK for the cost

Hope you have a good hol Mark.

Received both 41 and 42 this morning, very nice pieces indeed I'm very happy about these.

Now number 43 Flakvierling Sd.kfz. 7/1 looks neat.

Happy days!

Both arrived at the weekend, Leapard all good, Elefant suffering from the normal stretched tracks and wonky
wheels.(Easy enough to fix). Overall happy with both.
